Step into the World of Clinical Exercise

By addressing key areas of physical ability, it works to support the body as a whole through a well-rounded approach. While improving physical comfort is a key goal, many also experience greater ease and confidence in their everyday activities.

What can I expect from my Clinical Pilates Exercise Program?
A tailored program designed just for you
At The Physio Studio, our highly trained sports physiotherapists are qualified in using a range of exercises including strength training, the clinical Pilates method, and balance and flexibility training, and will establish a program specifically for you. Following a thorough initial assessment, we develop your program over a series of 1:1 sessions.
After building confidence with your program through a full course of sessions, you can join our Studio Equipment classes. Participants who are comfortable with their exercises may also opt for casual studio membership, allowing independent access to the equipment outside of class hours.
Our Pilates Studio
In our well-equipped, climate-controlled Pilates studio, we run EQUIP Pilates classes, offering a variety of supervised sessions each week. Clients can also choose personalised 1:1 sessions with our physiotherapists for tailored support.
Using Pilates reformers, chi balls, trapeze tables, and balance balls, our sessions provide a well-rounded and dynamic workout. The equipment helps to build strength across the whole body while targeting core stability. Whether you’re looking to ease tension in your back or neck, address other physical concerns, or simply strengthen your core, Pilates—through structured group classes or tailored one-on-one sessions—offers an engaging and rewarding way to move.
Our Skilled and Certified Pilates Instructors
Our Clinical Pilates program is led by a skilled team of physiotherapists with expertise in sports physiotherapy and Pilates. With qualifications in DMA Pilates and training from the KX Academy, our team brings a comprehensive understanding of movement and exercise.
Recognised as the benchmark for clinical Pilates in physiotherapy, the DMA method takes a distinctive approach by identifying the root causes behind symptoms that bring many people to Pilates. At The Physio Studio, our director Sean Bushby holds a level 4 DMA Pilates qualification, while physiotherapist Scott Palmer is certified at level 1. With a team of six dedicated physios, we’re excited to support you in your Pilates journey.
Explore Our Pilates Classes
All classes are fully supervised by our energetic and experienced physiotherapists and have a maximum of 6 clients per class.
EQUIP (Reformer Pilates)
We call our reformer Pilates classes EQUIP because they help equip you build balance, movement, and endurance. These studio equipment clinical Pilates sessions feature Pilates reformers alongside other tools like chi balls. If you’re looking to master Pilates exercises using a reformer, EQUIP is the perfect choice.
Vital
Your core muscles are vital, but Pilates reformers aren’t always vital to every Pilates session! Our Vital classes are mat-based, where exercises are done on mats on the floor. Proving equipment isn’t always necessary to a Pilates workout, mat Pilates in our Vital classes also aim to improve core muscle strength, endurance, and posture.
Pregnancy Pilates
Our studio equipment classes can accommodate prenatal exercise. Our physiotherapists can advise on what classes and exercises are suitable for you depending on your health, stage of pregnancy, and prenatal experience. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Our floor-based Vital Pilates classes may also be appropriate during pregnancy.

Your Clinical Pilates Questions Answered
Yes, discounts are available on term passes and other payment options.
While Clinical Pilates and Reformer Pilates share similarities, they differ in purpose and approach. Clinical Pilates is guided by trained professionals and focuses on individual needs, rehabilitation, and improving function.
Reformer Pilates is a type of Pilates exercise using specialised equipment. This form of Pilates targets strength, flexibility, and stability, and is generally used for general fitness rather than clinical rehabilitation.
How often you do clinical Pilates is ultimately up to you, however we generally suggest starting with one to two sessions per week. This suggestion may differ for you depending on factors such as your fitness level, any existing injuries or conditions, and so on. As you progress and develop strength, balance, and flexibility, you may wish to change how frequently you do clinical Pilates as well.

- Neck pain
- Shoulder pain
- Joint injuries
- Injury rehab
- Sports injuries
- Neurological conditions
- Prenatal or postnatal care
